While driving her vehicle on the highway, with her two-month-old daughter in a car seat behind her, the plaintiff was struck from behind by a pickup truck hauling a trailer loaded with thousands of pounds of steel. The force of the collision caused the vehicle to erupt in flames.
Bystanders and the truck driver pulled the woman to safety, but they were unable to rescue the two-month-old infant, who was consumed in the fire. The loss of a child under such circumstances represents one of the most devastating tragedies a family can endure.
Prior to trial, the parties — including multiple defendants and their insurers — settled for confidential amounts. The case was handled by partner James A. Lowe, who worked to ensure that the family received accountability and compensation for the unthinkable loss of their infant daughter.
